We stayed there one night last year during spring break. It was beautiful. Our room was huge!! The staff was very friendly. When we checked in our sons were each given fresh cookies and a little bag of goodies. There were free water bottles at the Hilton vacation club desk that the boys were given (we did not have to listen to a sales pitch for them). The hotel was very clean. We were only there one night since we were traveling further south for our vacation but we had to stop and visit DTD!!! I would definitely stay there again!

I haven't stayed there but have seen it and looked into it at one time. The pros is that it's realy close to DTD, and it's the only hotel in DTD that you can have EMH privilege with.
The con is that it's not on WDW transportation. All the hotels in DTD are on their own bus system which isn't nearly as good as the WDW transportation. It's not as themed as the WDW hotels, you could be at any Hilton, you wouldn't know you're at WDW. And if you are driving you have to pay at the parks.
So IMHO, for the price of the Hilton, I'd book an on site hotel.

the hilton is the only DTD that gets EMH.

they do have their own bus service - but it isn't too bad.

epcot and studio share a bus - so do Hilton, Holiday Inn, Royal Plaza Resort, Double tree.

the problem MK and AK share a bus.

now if you don't go back to your resort until after AK is closed - not a problem.

but if you are at the MK and want to return to your room before AK closes - then the bus must go to the AK before it goes back to DTD - this is a long route.

so just walk over to CR and take the DTD bus there. then you walk back from DTD to hilton.

the buses come after 30 minutes. So had no real problem with the buses.

(after illiuinations walked over to the BC and took the DTD bus again - just so didn't have to walk all the way to the front of Epcot)

remember that disney did away with the theme park to DTD buses - a couple of years ago. too many off siters (hotels as well as people) were trying to use the DTD bus to get to the theme parks.
